USDA survey on way to Nebraska farmers & ranchers

Farmers and ranchers in Nebraska will soon be contacted by the U-S Department of Agriculture to respond to a survey regarding their operation. Bob Bass is with USDA’s Statistic Service and says they want to know how many acres are planted, grain in storage and count of livestock.

Farmers can expect the surveys to arrive within the next week or so and USDA says a timely response is important. About 140,000 farmers and ranchers in the U-S will be contacted either by mail, phone and about 40,000 in person.
